Pros

As a consultant in the Global Data Warehousing group, I was impressed with Pfizer's focus on their core competency, namely pharmaceuticals. While they outsource a great deal of their support services, e.g. information technology, they do not do so at the expense of excellence.

Cons

About 3 years ago, Pfizer made a corporate decision to do away with independent contractors, in favor or "employed" consultants under a few vendor partners. While this minimizes the risk of contractor/employee lawsuits, it also limits the pool of excellent candidates.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
